So Harris and Wade are playing?

what does Wade have to do to get dropped? Why is an opener now so important?

I get that overall Wade hasn’t been awful as a test bat, and he’s been docked around this series... but his dismissals have been as atrocious as you’ll ever see, especially for a ‘veteran’ or experienced player
Yes he is showing a lack of patience at the crease, something he was good at last year. Like he hasn't fully been able to adjust from short form cricket this year.

Nathan Lyon becomes the 13th Australian to play 100 test matches.

He requires 4 wickets to reach 400 test wickets


Doing well for himself

Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon and his partner Emma McCarthy have bought their first home together. They’ve paid $3.8 million for a newly-built townhouse in Tennyson Point, the riverside suburb.

Been an absolute muppet getting out couple of times when not needed to

Cant help to think if JL may have played a part, asked him to go full aggressive, as he was quite patient as opener and used up a lot of balls to rid the new ball when the earlier tests where slug fests

2 debutants for India. Sundar and Natarajan.
Has to be one of the most inexperienced bowling unit. Total of 3 games between them
Yeah they're scraping the barrel a bit. I'm sure Natarajan served me when I got some petrol at 7-11 last week...

Never in a million years would I have thought Nathan Lyon would play 100 tests. Massive achievement.
